I Was Raped In 2020. Military Investigation Didn’t Do Anywhere, Should I Pursue Civil Charges Or Not Worth It?

I’ll try to keep this vague, but all of the details are accurate.

Location: happened in Kentucky. I currently live in Nevada, I was living in California at the time.

Basically, I (19, junior enlisted) was raped by a non commissioned officer unrelated to my unit/chain of command on a military base in 2020. He pressured me into drinking while underage, and then when I was in bed trying to go to sleep, he closed the door and got in with me. No witnesses or any kind of rape kit. I have severe PTSD (diagnosed, medicated, in treatment) from this that has significantly affected my quality of life. I’ve lost jobs. I was hospitalized. I had to give up my career in the military. I was suicidal and self harmed. And even with extensive treatment, my anxiety/paranoia is so severe that my mental health providers and I are currently exploring the idea of getting me a service dog so I can go outside on my own.

I reported it to CID in 2023, but they closed their investigation without doing anything. My lawyer said that they believed me, but didn’t have enough information to go forward with it. I requested the documents, but they said no and I’d have to file a FOI request to access them.

I am still seriously affected by this, every day. I wasn’t mentally stable enough to even consider a civil case, but I think I am now. Saying that, I have no idea how to do that or if I even still can. It’s also important to note that hiring a good lawyer would not be a significant financial hardship for me.

What is the statute of limitations? If it’s expired, is there anything else I can do? Or did I just miss my shot? Do you think I actually have enough to really even bother? I have friends/family/medical documentation that will back me up, but no actual hard evidence. Would it be worth it? Where would I start? What state would I even need a lawyer in?

Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
